(204) The acceleration limiter valve on the A/M32A–95 gas turbine compressor operates a poppet valve to control fuel flow to the atomizer using control air pressure combined with
- A.
Oil Pressure
- B.
Fuel pressure
- C.
Spring tension
- D.
Plenum air pressure
Correct Answer
C. Spring tensionExplanation
The acceleration limiter valve on the A/M32A-95 gas turbine compressor uses spring tension to control fuel flow to the atomizer. This means that the valve is designed in such a way that the tension of the spring determines the amount of fuel that is allowed to flow. When the control air pressure combined with spring tension is at a certain level, the poppet valve opens and allows fuel to flow to the atomizer. Therefore, the correct answer is spring tension.Rate this question:

- C.
Suction pressure is too high so the boiling point of the refrigerant must be decreased to decrease the output air temperature.
- D.
Suction pressure is too low so the boiling point of the refrigerant must be increased to increase the output air temperature.
Correct Answer
D. Suction pressure is too low so the boiling point of the refrigerant must be increased to increase the output air temperature.Explanation
The correct answer is suction pressure is too low so the boiling point of the refrigerant must be increased to increase the output air temperature. When the suction pressure is too low, it means that there is not enough refrigerant entering the compressor. This causes the boiling point of the refrigerant to decrease, resulting in a lower output air temperature. By increasing the boiling point of the refrigerant, the air conditioner can increase the output air temperature and improve its cooling efficiency.Rate this question:
